tv   Mad Money  CNBC  June 29, 2013 4:00am-5:01am EDT

4:00 am
my mission is simple. to make you money. i'm here to level the playing field for all northwesters. there's a bull market somewhere. and i promise to help you find it. "mad money" starts now. hey, i'm cramer. welcome to "mad money." welcome to cramerica. people want to make friends. i'm just trying to save you money. i want to educate you. so call me. what a first half. what an amazing market we've got here. sure today was a bit of a party popper, s&p dipping, nasdaq advancing. for the month, the s&p declined
quote
4:01 am
1.5%, that's the first since last year. still, it's rallied 2.4% since the quarter began. and giving the s&p a 13% gain for 2013. the best performance since 1999. not a lot of people saw this come. with anemic growth in china, and no growth in europe, stocks should be crushed, down, not up. at least in the first half. when you throw the bonds, the chief competitors got crushed sending interest rates soaring up to levels where they are now above the average s&p 500 stock. you would that's it market would be hammered. it sure made sense. but it didn't happen. are stocks divorced from the real economy? hardly. what's going on, the company's like the one we'll hear from tonight, ford, starr bucks and macy's are making more with less, and putting up record numbers even in the difficult landscape. not ahead of ourselves, not too caught up in what happened.
4:02 am
we care about what can happen as we examine the game plan for the beginning of the second half of 2013. first, you know -- you know what you need to know? you need to know there's a big calendar change. we turn the page on the 2013 calendar on monday. that's right. a wall street calendar would show you 2014 begins next week, or estimates at least. we no longer care about 2013, you're going to hear about 2014 numbers and stock projections on them. every firm has them. i've found this a fascinating prospect. it's optimistic. no one anticipates a down year. you should hear bullish projections starting next week. that's why you seem to have a summer rally around now. s it the new projections. no company reports next week.
4:03 am
that doesn't mean we have to trade off. getting monday, the big daddy of china, the manufacturing pmi, and the important number out of japan, the tanken expenditures survey. we are fed centric, and guess about the fed. we stay focused on china, i say. they are slowing down at a pace that's making the ruling communist party uncomfortable. they may have to do something to keep their jobs or lives. what's the 180 from a week today? china may let the shadow bank twist in the wind, that's why they went down. and they gave a lifeline this week. china and the fed are both important. chinese gains are temporary. until we see numbers better than expected. we won't seat numbers the bulls want on sunday. that's something above 50. that's the numbers, 5-0. and numbers well less than that. maybe 48.
4:04 am
get used to that. that's a contraction in china. what does that mean? more pressure on middle and commodity stocks. systemic risk and the bleed down into the cyclicals. chinese weakness was a central feature of the quarter past. and i think the heat will continue. japan is malcolm x style plan for growth, blow torching their currency. that's taking hold. we will get a good industrial figure. they fell so far, it's a bear market, but since then, it's real life. i think they persist. my travel plans to japan, i think japan is going higher. yesterday, when i grilled ford ceo al mulally about recent car sales, he said he saw softness because of the surge in interest rates. i'm all over tuesday's vehicle
4:05 am
sales report, that could be the damage about the fed's comments about the economic stance. and the factory orders, this is the group to care about. this is what you want to buy. because that's what happens. when stocks after a sudden surge in interest rates, they buy the cyclicals. bursts in rates, 1994, and 2004, and the stock market staged sizable rallies and on an onion, what's underneath? most are the cyclicals, and the smokestack behind the consumer products companies. but it fell on the bond equivalent trade, and now dirty and strong, that's bought by enterprises, not people. and boeing is the one. we learned that aerospace orders are backed up at any airport. wednesday is you're row zone retail sales. look what we have to care about. i wish i didn't. that's why i'm up at 3:30 in the morning and tweet on twitter. one the reasons europe found footing is retail sales were better than expected even with three straight years of declining sales. it can buttress my favorite, one that david chortles at me.
4:06 am
and europe will have pep. and the starbucks on our show says he sees green shoots in the second half. i want our viewers to have a glorious independence day on july 4th. it's a special holiday. and join me to watch the macy's parade and fireworks. the brand has such resonance in a year where we just shop at amazon. and finally the defining number of the week, the non-farm payroll on friday. it will be thin because of the timing of july 4th. the important thing you need to know is that the reaction will be wildly disproportionate versus other non-payroll numbers.
4:07 am
the consensus is 165,000 jobs were created this month. we get a number not like that, 125,000 or lower, interest rates will go lower, and we will get a nice rally in the housing stocks. people gave up on them because of the recent spike in mortgage rates that many think is the kod -- kiss of death -- for the remarkable housing recovery. here is the bottom line. quiet numbers, mostly overassess markets. and friday's labor report, and china and europe will call the tune, and a lousy number ignites things, or a strong number says it's not as good as the first. bad news is good news, and good news is bad news mode that's so counterintuitive, but so right
4:08 am
if you're going to stick winning stocks in this market. i want to start with todd in florida. >> boo-yah, jim, from jacksonville, florida. >> man, jax. mjd, not there. go on. what's up? >> caller: i don't know what's going on with him, but anyway, my -- >> he's okay, i'm told. >> caller: my question is about rbs. i got in at just under $10 per share, but the ceo resigned, and the bank of england told them to sell some assets to raise capital. ever since then it's been going down. >> i know, and i think the asset is worth a lot of money. the headline risk is bad, but i would buy more. maybe wait until they do the big slug, and double down. this is an inexpensive situation. paul in virginia, please, paul.
4:09 am
>> caller: boo-yah jim cramer. >> boo-yah. >> caller: how you doing? i was calling in reference to t-mobile, tums, full disclosure, i'm an employee, but i'm looking to buy shares in the open market, and i just want to know is it a good time to jump. >> i would have said to you that we're speculating on takeover and got to be careful because the fundamentals aren't good. and goldman sachs said the fundamentals are strengthening. i think it's a plain old buy. in the words of the great -- of the pal -- i got a craze -- i saw them on smoking -- i wanted to take it up, but he quit. in the words of jon bon jovi, new jersey unlike me. we're halfway there. next week -- he didn't say this, china and europe the buzz until friday.
4:10 am
and the lyrics next week. we're going to be right back. >> coming up, gasping over gold. precious medal has been tarnished, losing a quarter of its value, but will it turn the corner and shine again or continue to plummet? turning to the technicals on a special edition of off the charts. and later, icons of industry, the ceos went one-on-one with cramer last night. to talk about what makes their companies and the usa great. now teaming up in a historic event. don't miss the invest in america power panel all coming up on mad money. don't miss a second of mad money. follow @jimcramer on twitter,

♪ i'm a big believer in owning gold as an insurance policy. as the precious medal is higher during bouts of inflation and economic calamity that send it higher. buy gold coins, it's the only way. but what about gold as an investment, a trade? it's been a real dog, down 30% from the high. pounded relentlessly. it is a total house of pain. it doesn't pay dividends, no earnings. you can't value the way of a stock. they don't like it. one smart technician we trust, the co-founder of carly garner trading with and the traders first book of commodities believes that the bottom in gold
4:15 am
could be at hand, and should be able to rally right back and dramatically. wow. it's special, it's an exciting friday edition of off the charts to look at the head turning call against the grain that so many people believe has been started. garner's basic idea is traders fall in love with the idea of using gold to hedge against economic turmoil. while we don't have inflation, if ben bernanke is right that the economy is improve, the risk to the upside, then we should see inflation. something we haven't seen in years. this is what happens when economies heat up. but we don't need to wait for inflation to rear its head for gold to rise. we need the traders to expect inflation and they'll dive in rapidly. think about what happened to u.s. treasuries last week. look at this. this is apocalyptic. it collapsed at the hint that the fed may start tightening next year. that's talk. and it's a big reason why gold could turn on a dime. with the precious medals,
4:16 am
terrific rally. of course, there's more. look at the gold futures weekly chart. and the important thing, these three lines at the bottom which tracks the commodity futures traders report on gold, it's the c.o.d. it's useful when you're trying to analyze commodities or futures. basically they track three different type was holders, firms buying for hedging purposes, those are the commercial hedgers, red line. then the large speculators, the institutional, green line, and then the small speculators, the blue line. i feel like i'm in boston with the lines. according to garner, the wall street players are currently holding the smallest net positions in gold since 2009. okay, that's pretty amazing. collectively they have a net position of 43,000 futures contracts, it's a shocking
4:17 am
figure. they have held net long positions of 200,000 contracts. they're leaner, plus the small speculators have given up almost entirely. holding just 423 contracts. that's next to nothing. why is it so important? they tell us the washout is nearly complete. most of the people who were going to sell have sold. if you were going to give up on the precious medal based on the fact that the prices are crushes, you're blowing it out by now. you're done. that's the necessary precondition for a bottom. this is the monthly chart of gold futures. historically they have a seasonal low at some point in july. and we see a bunch of july lows. typically the second half of the month. we're a couple weeks away. governor thinks it could come early. look at the strength, or rsi down at the bottom, an important indicator to show changes before
4:18 am
they happen. it's below 30, astounding. that's the lowest in 13 years. when it's down here, it suggests that gold is oversold and therefore due for a bounce. the same goes for the williams percentage r indicator. we mentioned this before. it's an indicator developed by larry williams, and similar to the one we talk about on the show, that measures whether security has been overbought or oversold. now the williams percentage r just dipped below 30 for only the third time in the last 13 years, that's below 30. which tells garner it's oversold. this is the right time to start buying. on the occasions where the percentage indicator gold prices posted substantially higher highs. didn't you want to be.
4:19 am
that's what you wanted to be there. okay? wear at that level, people. once the panic finally subsides and the dust settles, garner is looking for a quick snap. one i want you in. but at what level does she think it's worth buying? she think it's closer than you think. buying gold on any weakness, below 1200 an ounce, that's 30 bucks. there are two major floors, if gold flirts with those, then you can get more aggressive. look at the important floors. here they are. this is a -- she uses them too. a 62% trace from 2008 to 2011 puts you at 1150. that's a crucial floor. right now the trend support is near 1130.
4:20 am
if the precious medal declines to that zone, snap it right up. so we're just going to buy -- 115, pick some up. i like this because it looks like gold. it's like a bullion, you know? i thought it was. here's the bottom line. gold is hated, despised, people are throwing gold bars out the windows, they're burning it and dumping it in droves. but it will bottom. and based on the incredible chartswork, that could be sooner rather than later with a rebound. i like her track record. i think you should consider this, especially given how far the price of gold has already fallen. after the break i'll try to make you more money. coming up, icons of industry with the ceo of macy's, starbucks and ford all went one-on-one with cramer last night to talk about what makes their companies and the usa great. now teaming up for the first time in an historic event. don't miss mad money's invest in america power panel, just ahead.

fourth of july, you want to see fireworks? last night, we had the honor of speaking with three of the nations iconic c east coast, allan mulally, and tare lundgren, and if that wasn't amazing enough, we went over
4:24 am
what makes the prospects for this country and their companies as good as ever. it's the power panel. look. i don't believe you're on the set of mad money. it's a tremendous thrill. all three of you have seen great adversity in your companies and your lives. you talk about it. you talk about not taking the government's money, you talk about having to come back 2008. you talk about how your business was strained. at one point it was strained, and the amazon challenge. what do you tell young people, that's who we care about, not to give up? how do you beat adversity? >> listen, first of all, we are aligned in this, and i know without asking howard and allan. it's not only you, you have to surround yourself with a great team of people who are prepared
4:25 am
to dig in and listen to the customer and be responsive. but start with the team always. >> i think that's perfect. i would add one thing, surround yourself with people with like-minded values. for a young person, work for a company who's values were compatible with your own. >> i wish people felt that. business is the greatest sort of esteem and wealth. in our country, you can be in it. in other countries, the door are closed. how do you feel? >> i feel there's so much opportunity to contribute to compelling visions. in the ford case, if you can make the best cars in the world, contribute to energy development and independence and security, and the world, contribute where you're going to make a difference, follow your heart. >> if you were president of the united states, is there anything you can do or would do to make the country more prosperous, more healthy? >> we have talked about that, and you have led the charge, the most important thing is we continue to work to create an environment where businesses can flourish and grow.
4:26 am
and have profitable growth for all. >> can i say one thing? >> sure. >> i was saying off camera, i was in china, and i see more and more fords on the road. >> 48% increase in sales why not? >> i'm proud of that. >> who else bout a ford? >> i got one, a ford flex. i called him from the dealership when i bought it. >> what car you driving? >> it's a ford 350. it's a gorgeous machine. just gorgeous. yeah, it's got power. i like that. >> the starbucks cup holder in there. >> cappuccino, the cramer as it's called on the floor of the new york stock exchange. how about the american ingenuity, macy's starts a long time ago, just the concept of the department store is yours. >> right. and it was all started by individuals, family members, in
4:27 am
each city across america. over time, it's rolled up to be called macy's in many places. right now we're doing a major event called american icon, about american designers and ralph lauren and calvin klein, michael coors, these are talented designers. they're american. the designs are right from here. >> and you've got a part of those. when i go to macy's, i don't see the other guy's product. you have your own. that's a fantastic credit to what you've done. >> it's about customer choice. >> absolutely. >> you have to innovate every day. i get the new tea drink, it's a sophisticated arnold palmer. who's inventing these? are you a science company? >> we're not, but we are steeped in invasion. even though we have a great year, we recognize we have to
4:28 am
self-renew and reinvent and not embrace the status quo. >> one of the things steve jobs was working on, he was trying to develop a car that ran on water. crazy? >> i think that might be in the future. >> you do? >> further out, but now, the most important thing is improve the internal combustion engine, electric, reducing the emissions. >> i was talking to young people -- and i told them i worked for goldman. they want to work at a place that doesn't ruin the environment as their first goal. when you be try to get the best, is that what they want? >> absolutely. it's neat. ford attracted tremendous talent because of what we do, not only for safe and efficient transportation, but for a better world. and the new hybrids and plug in, the hydrogen vehicle concept, mixing hydrogen with platinum and water is coming out, and we together work on creating the energy, there's a future out there that's compelling. >> i hope they want to become
4:29 am
engineers. we need more engineers. when you speak about american ingenuity and the american dream, has it changed? i know all three of you talk about maybe the next generation won't be as wealthy. you love the millennials, is the dream just too distant? we don't put a lot of people to work anymore? we struggle -- >> i don't know it's too distant. i think the american dream is alive and well. but we as a country and as a society need to celebrate people who are living and created the dream and not put them in the penalty box. that's happened. >> you empower a lot of people and have a tremendous training program. the training you're giving them would make them want to open their own store. >> that's where we win on campus, because the students realize that they can learn a
4:30 am
great deal about our business and business by being part of our training program. we just announced, we hired a thousand college graduates, i'm buzzing around the floor saying hello. we had a 5 k run last saturday on wall street. and all these millennials show up, they want to beat me, they did, by the way. >> people hiring, firings is what we hear about, hiring globally, you are, just great stuff. last question, 40 years ago, what would you tell that person, you, 40 years ago about what they should be doing? >> jim, i feel more strongly about that than i did when i was starting out. there's so many chances to contribute, so many things that are important. pick out the area you care about that you want to make a difference and join. there's an opportunity to contribute so many important things today. >> you have to find something that you have such love and
4:31 am
passion for and are willing to sacrifice for. success is not easy, we know that. but those people who have achieved success, did it because of an unbelievable commitment to doing something that other people said could not be done. >> people quit too soon. >> yes. >> give up, never give up. never give up. tare. >> do it the best that you can, don't complain, i wish i had that instead of this, do that job, people will notice and move you on. >> and bring everybody along. >> everybody in. >> never complain, never explain, the founder of the ford motor corporation. you guys are fabulous. we have younger people watching the show, never give up. >> thanks for sharing the story. >> thank you. this is the best america has to offer. i want to thank the allan mulally, and terry lundgren, and howard schultz. stay with cramer. you've heard from the ceos,

4:41 am
we're still reeling here at mad money from the sheer fire power we witnessed this very week when we sat down with the heads of dupont, ford, macy's, starbucks. part of our invest in america
4:42 am
series. we learned about their companies, goals, innovate or die, and inspirational and aspirational message to the troops. but now put it in the context of mad money. meaning, what did we hear that can make us money in the stocks of the wise and hard-working individuals. the founder and ceo of starbucks said he cares about driving revenues and profits through the lens of humanity. we have to care about what that means to those of you who want to own a share in their enterprises. i'm writing a book on how to get rich carefully. and i found this week so inspirational, and i will include it in translate leadership and coaches into stock prices. they are head coaches. figure out who does the best job. all five know we don't salute business enough, we castigate it. and because humility was part of their success and presentations, i just got to say it, we don't appreciate their own successes and what it's done for their companies and their shareholders. now i have to tell you, they exude confidence. i was struck by never by mulally, and the ceo of boeing about the days of 2008 and 2009,
4:43 am
and the tough coverage of the dreamliner's battery problems, and whether they were worried that a tail spin for the companies could not be averted. never says never give up. never give into those who panic, stay clear headed. they need to see it through, don't be blown by winds or trials in the business world. let's take it one by one, the insights into the stocks and the answers to their questions. allan coleman made it clear this was not your father's dupont or your grandfathers or your great-grandfathers, because it is an ancient entity. it's about science and invasion, and a customer-centric way to
4:44 am
feed the world, harness grains, and they genetically modify seeds to fuel vehicles and make better taste and wellness among other visions. it was not too lofty a vision. when i asked about it, coleman said the scientific breakthroughs were answering the call from customers, and would give dupont new and improved earning streams rather than the commodity products that can be made anywhere and have no secular growth and pricing power. we own dupont for all these reasons, stock was bad today, that's a buying opportunity. i believe they're an undervalued enterprise. the chairman and ceo of boeing, where they can't see past next
4:45 am
week, he laid out a 20-year vision on actual data. he is involved in not -- in a not all that friendly, i loved this when we found it out, compared it to harvard and yale, not a friendly dual with air bus. and they are getting superior products, meeting customers demands, developing the product and winning huge orders worldwide. the most telling comment, those comments about the dreamliner's woes, just try getting one. a few stretches into 2019. so much for the cancellations. and now harvesting it, i love that. what could hurt it, not enough engineers, without the immigration bill. but that's the closest anyone came to worrying about washington, let alone needing their help. they sold too son, heading to 120 before it takes a breath. people sold the stock of macy's after the amazon threat. how silly that looks after you see what the chairman has done to make it the best department store chain in the world during his ten years. it's been ten years now. terry traced out the my macy's
4:46 am
plan that allows the locals to decide what to care kerry, and the stores can look at the warehouses to find something so they're never out of a product. and they are teaching associates to interact with customers that's generating sales and customers. it was impossible, it's the pulse at the new macy's, and he made it clear, when, speaking of polls, the white house regularly checks in with them to listen to that pulse. along with the other ceos, he wants to be long america. i'm long macy's. and the ford ceo, not just for ford, but profitable growth for all, pga he calls it. that means they can all do well at the same time. we care about the latter, president stock got hit today. the new cars had perfect gas mileage, the f-150 line, bought the f-350, are selling better than any time since 2006,
4:47 am
including up one percentage point, it's all good news for shareholders. and it's his comments about europe that makes me feel good about 2014, the stock goes higher. i'm kicking myself that we sold starbucks stock. bulls make money, bears make money, hogs, they get slaughtered, but this stock won't quit. china is coming on strong. europe is better, and there's green shoots. after 21 years as a public company, it's still in the earning innings. but when you played back the comments, you would be a believer in a heartbeat. what's the future? part juice, another part coffee, tea, and one part food with china being the largest market for a 50,000-store chain.
4:48 am
i think that will happen sooner than the market expects. and we will take a bite of it, buy. and here's what it is, five ceos with five stocks that are the pick of the litter and beyond. i say bravo, thank them for coming on the show, and be thankful that they'll take you along for the ride as the shareholders in the institutions. dom in north carolina. >> caller: you are the man, i'm a jersey guy stuck in the south here. i've got -- some people called me maurice, boo-yah, i was watching you this morning, bud. >> i like it. >> caller: i've got facebook stock, it's half of my portfolio, i know that's a no-no. but i believe in facebook and mark zuckerberg, but sitting here idle, averaging 2640, is this puppy going to move? >> you own too much. it's a speculative position. cheryl sandberg sold, it came
4:49 am
stock at a higher level. this company has a good earnings prospect, but they need to tell the story better or i will tell it for them. kevin in new jersey. >> caller: hello. >> what's up? >> caller: i'm in panther valley, new jersey. >> around the corner. >> caller: yeah pip own 1,000 shares of iep from 60 to $89 a share. i'm experienced, but buy, sell or hold and do you have any feelings for options? >> i just think you should own it because of the chairman of the company and because i have respect for icahn. i think you should be in it, i think it's a good company and that's a wise choice. and he's one of the world's greatest investors. grade a usa, mighty usa, r-o-c-k. dupont, ford, macy's, and
4:50 am
starbucks -- >> buy, buy, buy. >> stay with cramer.
